Dale from North Dakota:
@original dale: I noted that a long time ago, so always post as this. Makes me seem obscure, too, lol. @Cecile: thank you so much.

Hey:
Why Cleveland on the 1000 bill?, people asked. Cleveland was the only Democrat President from Lincoln till Woodrow Wilson, over 50 years later. He was very interested in economic policy. He was born in NEW JERSEY, fwiw.

HΘRNET MΘNTANA:
If the suggestion about lax security is based on my ability to be here instead of guarding the facility, this is based on an erroneous assumption that I am security personnel. This is untrue and impossible, in truth. Those employees are not allowed to learn how to type, so as to foster dedication to awareness.

Adam from Lynnwood, Washington:
Julie, great Dark Night of the Soul show the other night!! Fabio, you have pointed me in the direction of SO MANY amazing albums I have gone on to purchase! Clay Pigeon, when is Norton Records releasing your poetry and prose box set, to be followed by your tour with Neil Hamburger? WFMU!!!!!

Dialipl Panfleet:
Fabio, had I the money, I would have 'adopted' you 'cause you have to coolest picture online, compared to all of the other dj's.

The episode of Star Trek was called "Miri"

Listening to them is like listening to the two halves of my brain talking to each other.

actually, this show is exactly why FMU rules. not even the most ridiculous college stuff comes close to this beyond the fringe, stream of conscience, impassioned insanity...

even if herr pigeon called me a rat, im truly loving this...how is this not a classic era wednesday line-up show?

Robert:
Arm hairs actually hurt a lot. Make sure not to get a Band-Aid on a hairy area if you get blood drawn.

Wait, what? What did I win? I wanted a chance to win the Japansese DVDs! Oh, well. Thanks anyway.

@Robert: It hardly compares to Andy supposedly getting his nipple pierced and travelling back from Boston just to sing his nemesis's "Vincent"

Thu. 3/10/11 5:53pm
Danne D:
Lalena :) if the DVDs are a grand prize then you still have a chance (if you pledged enough to qualify). Check the archive later though - you probably won something cool anyway :)

Pork Lava sounds like an awesome foodstuff

Cecile:
Fabio, we love you, skinny legs and all.

re: Andy not weaseling out. I'll believe it when I see it.

The irritament has become the irritatee :)

Robert:
The involuntary piercings and tattooings bother me. Actually all physical hurting does, but body mutilation, unless they secretly WANT it -- as it seems Ken really did with his tattoo -- just makes me sad.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:00pm
Robert:
Maybe it's like when cats fight. It looks awful to us, and could occasionally even be fatal, but it seems they receive from it an endorphin rush the like of which we can scarcely imagine.

"Just One Clay Hater":
The studio staff would know, if the IPs are all the same.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:01pm
Danne D:
I would say that Andy and Ken are the best of frenemies and thus it works :) Kinda like Penn and Teller in "Penn and Teller Get Killed"

Thu. 3/10/11 6:04pm
Suggestion Box:
@Robert: Maybe it would help to let other people work their own interactions and decisions out, rather than you having to decide for sure what is horrible for them that makes you sad to think about.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:04pm
Desp:
@Fred, that would be hilarious.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:05pm
Danne D:
Um, are you talking about the pig with the manually refreshing? And I don't know that the big would be none too happy.

Btw yay Julie :D

Thu. 3/10/11 6:05pm
Robert:
If it were fucking a small animal, that would be cruel. But a pig, no.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:06pm
Robert:
Suggestion Box, I've just gotten attached to these guys. It seems auto-refresh is still on.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:07pm
Danne D:
I have no answer for that one, Robert.

You should write a testimonial asking that Andy be excused from the piercing :) I know Andy would appreciate that.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:17pm
fred:
@Robert: beware, Ken did that once (after he struggled to regain access to his phone)

Thu. 3/10/11 6:17pm
Robert:
Oh, I see, he self-identified as such.

I'm a fount of TMI.

Thu. 3/10/11 6:18pm
Danne D:
LOL :)

Thu. 3/10/11 6:20pm
Robert:
But I do feel genuinely sorry for these guys. I didn't even write down the phone number of whichever one, or both, of them that was given out. I mean, these guys entertain us AS A HOBBY and A FAVOR; why should we "repay" them with annoyance?

Thu. 3/10/11 6:34pm
Suggestion Box:
Did he finally stop repeating himself about stuff that's not his business? (not his business, assuming that mature people like Andy can handle their own decisions)

Thu. 3/10/11 6:35pm
Danne D:
I will cop that I dialed the number and sent Andy a few texts - for a week. I figure that there needed to be some grist ahead of the next week's show. Nothing harmful or hateful (though there was a massive picture mail fail) but after that I sent a final message that thanked Andy for being a good sport. I guess I just view the whole think a bit differently - I mean they are offering shirts that make them pay you $2 when they see them.

@suggestion box Not so sure, but he's at least a compassionate soul, I can give him points for that :)

As Thoreau implied long ago in an oft-quoted sentence, people who claim they want to help others are often the scariest and most threatening people of all :-(
